Horoscope for Feb. 23

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — While some situations require taking a risk, others will need a more conservative approach. You need to have excellent judgment about when to do what.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Be careful what you promise, because if you fail to make good on it, a close friend’s feelings could easily be hurt. You had better have a good reason for going back on your word.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You might start out upbeat and positive, but as time ticks on, you could easily lose your momentum and let self-doubts begin to creep in, conjuring a negative frame of mind.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — The probabilities for acquisition look good in some instances, but your possibilities for loss are also strong in other cases. The trick is to be careful and understand the differences.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — It isn’t that you don’t have excellent leadership qualities — you do. It’s more likely that you’ll use them only as a last resort instead of in a timely fashion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — It’s important to be a good listener. If you hear only what you want to hear and little else, instead of avoiding trouble, your deafness could put you in a bind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — All will go well when it comes to pursuing your objectives, but in order to reach a successful conclusion, you must remain focused right until the end. Don’t let down too early.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Even though your judgment is likely to be sounder than that of your colleagues, when push comes to shove, unfortunately, you could easily yield to theirs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — You’re likely to do everything well at this time, yet this might not be enough. If you allow yourself to work in fits and starts, you will severely minimize productivity and effectiveness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Be careful how you treat associates because if you show any partiality — and you could if you think something is in it for you — you might lose a valuable cohort.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Because you’re likely to do quite well at everything, you might not know when to call it quits. Once you tire, your productivity could easily collapse and begin to disrupt what you’ve already accomplished.
